It could be done using a crontab job and it's very efficient sometimes
to use only a crontab job instead of nagios.

You can use the precompiled nagios scripts for the task.
Unless you have constrains on the OS allowed languages and packages,
which then should be evaluated more deeply to meet your needs which
might be missing.

So:
- - Nagios scripts as crontab job
- - Other tcp level scripts as a crontab job
- - fully fledged nagios
- - other relevant solutions in your scope
